Most times Smash is in a magazine, it's mostly speculation and old news compiled into one source. Plus, I highly doubt Sakurai or Nintendo will allow a non-Nintendo affiliated magazine to reveal the rest of the Smash cast.

Still, I'll keep am eye out for it.

You never know. Coro Coro has done reveals before, though that's generally for Pokemon. But their reputation may prevent them from having that right with smash. We'll see.

I wish we knew the context of "all the characters". Like is it only referring to every character revealed on the website, or will it literally be all the characters? Past experience says the former, but I want to be proven wrong for the sake of finally closing up speculation.

It is certainly making me rethink if there will be hidden characters

Mostly because I am unsure if that leak NOR coro coro would be allowed by sakurai, and either would be a leak (well, a reveal he did not get to manipulate slowly).

Perhaps we will get a monsterful antagonist trailer coming soon after all. So that means

1 trailer for Isaac and Shulk
2 trailer for Rayman and Chorus Kid
3 trailer for Mewtwo, K Rool, Wolf, Wario, Metaknight, Ganondorf, Ridley, and if we are all fortunate enough, Vaati.

CoroCoro pulled this exact same f***ing stunt with Brawl in December 2007, claiming that "their next issue will show all the characters," but then only showing the website's characters. I highly doubt this time will be any different.

It's just a ploy to sell copies. People who want to avoid spoilers, you're in the clear here.
I remember this clearly

such a let down at the time lol

What's this about it being "fake"? It's real for sure, now whether it be the full roster or the announced characters is a different story.

CoroCoro is not a leak, so it's a more reliable source for information. Of course, that magazine has been more known for Pokemon game coverage.

I think the confusion is that Coro Coro leaks early almost every single month and thus we get said Pokemon game coverage a few days early. We always call them leaks since, well, that's what they are.

Ah, I'm glad you brought this up. I remember it happening, but probably wouldn't have associated the events otherwise.

Either way you look at it though, CoroCoro is usually quite accurate with the Pokemon contents, as Mega Metagross is 100% real.

I expected an Ice Climbers pic of the day before reveal, plus August Direct showing Shulk and Meta Knight, and something like yesterday showing King K. Rool with Wario, but this...oh...this is gonna be ride.

I posted this on the wrong thread.

Corocoro will probably show only the initial roster, not including unlockables. I had the booklet they released prior to Brawl and the pages were made of detachable cards for each character, which had the names of all special attacks.

If I remember correctly, only some attacks were revealed, nothing much. It was a cool booklet anyway.
By the time it released, I believe we got some news too. The dojo revealed Olimar in between the Corocoro that said the next one would have the booklet and the one with the booklet, I think.

It's not a speculative magazine, their content is given to them by the companies to market their games. Next month, their issue (releasing in august, but it's called the september issue) releases a little earlier than normal, on the 12th (instead of the 15th). We may expect it to leak on the 10th or so. But don't get excited about it. The amount of new information will most probably be very little and nothing really important.

At the very least we'll get to know some of the moves of Palutena, Pac-Man, Mii Fighters, Robin and Lucina, at least if it does the same as they did with Brawl.

I think that they'll show the starting roster, revealing Ice Climbers, Wario, and Meta Knight if they aren't already revealed by then.

Oh I doubt it'll be the entire roster. It'll probably either be all of the starting characters or all of the characters featured on the website.

Who knows what'll arise from this? But it seems Nintendo is trying to prevent leaks this time by just announcing everything close to launch. It's hard to keep things a secret these days.

Just look at Mario Kart 8. We knew all characters and tracks just a month before it came out. Will Smash take the same route? We'll just have to wait and see.

I hope this isn't true. That means I'll have to stop going on Facebook, reddit, and here.

I'd love to subscribe to Corocoro but the cost of importing it to VA is astronomical and there aren't any stores around here that I know of that sell imported things from Japan like that either. :c

Are they seriously going to pull a Mario Kart 8 and reveal all the characters way before release. Because that's the most depressing thing I heard all day, then.

I had forgotten about the Brawl Coro Coro reveal until someone brought it up here, but that would actually be pretty helpful for this game since it might go into the customizable moves for each revealed character. If it confirms who is in the starting roster and who is unlockable of the revealed characters, even that would be nice information. I'd rather have just additional information about the known characters than have everything revealed.

Well, that gives us about four weeks until it leaks so a lot can happen between now and then. Last year the August Direct was in the first full week of August so there could be several reveals between then and now to finish off the starting roster. Given what they've done in the past, I seriously doubt they would show off all the unlockable characters too.

I believe they did this with Brawl too and only revealed what was already on the SmashBrosDojo site.

So my expectations are insanely low.

Wouldn't surprise me if they do the exact same as Brawl only showing the starting characters and all. Either way, I'm itching to see who is unlockable in this game along with the stages

Just asked Archaic and Snorlax Monster on Bulbagarden. The link you gave is for Coro Coro Ichiban, which is something different. The main Coro Coro magazine we are used to comes out August 15th (which is the September issue as I recall).
So does that mean we will get the Coro Coro with the Smash Bros info on August or September?

I somehow don't want CoroCoro to reveal all the characters, it's waaay too hype killing.
I mean, seeing a blurried image of the roster it's not the same as an amazing suspense-based trailer. It's more of a how they show them more than when they show them.:ohwell:

I feel like they are going to show the full STARTING roster, not the full roster. Meta Knight, Wario, Ness/Lucas, Ice Climbers and Falco are the only other veterans that I can see them announcing before release as starter characters (and maybe one more newcomer). The other characters (ROB, Wolf, Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo?, at least one other secret newcomer) will most likely be revealed once the game comes out. Melee and Brawl both had characters that were unknown until release day and I assume this will be the same way.

Also, isn't this the Coro Coro with the Mega Evolution special? If so, PHEW. It's gonna be a busy week for me when that stuff gets released.

From what it sounds like to me, it will just be the known characters. It will be pretty anticlimactic If we end up with the full roster revealed through Coro Coro though.

I remember being extremely disappointed when they did this for brawl and we got nothing new.

August 15th?

What a fitting day for something to die...

I see you're finally watching MCA, ahh, nice.

Will the next Japan Time be soon? I love listening to you guys and I would like to hear your opinions on Lucina, Robin, Falcon and the #NotMonadoMonday.
